In every case though, the few answers indicate a dissatisfaction with one's life, one's reality, one's personality, one's person.
That's because thats the only answer you will "accept"

Why Do You Get Drunk And/Or High?
I like the taste of good beer. I like the taste of one, so I try something different.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Of course, I "get drunk" rarely.
As much as I like beer, I'd be shocked if I average more than 1 beer per week.

What is the acceptable answer you're looking for?

So do you think this is a recent phenomenon?

It was a disingenuous question to begin with- laced with judgement. You sound like a person who thinks they have everyone figured out while sitting in the front pew of a pentecostal church in bum frick nowhere. Not everyone's knowledge and understanding of the world is as simple as your existence.
The question, to those who honestly answered it, reveals that the only reason one drinks/gets high is to alter reality. While you may not like the conclusion, that doesn't change the fact of the matter. It's a simple conclusion.

People get drunk and high for many, many reasons and there is no simple answer as you are looking for.
Yea it is.
It feels good and chicks dig it.
It really is that simple........ At first anyways.

Difficult? How?
Because every honest answer that doesn't include "suffering or pain" you just keep on asking " but why?" and won't accept anything else.

Lots of interesting responses but little facing of the reasons folks get drunk and/or high. What is it about reality that you cannot cope with it and need drugs to alter your perception into a false reality? In other words, why do you need to lie to yourself?
Mostly because I actually understand reality, unlike yourself. If you truly understood it, you'd want to escape it as well. It's why I envy stupid people. Cynicism, alcoholism, and intelligence a pretty well correlated for a reason.

I am happy with all four of these things, but that doesn't fit your premise, therefore you reject it.
That's what I mean by you being difficult

"oh please Beejon, impart on us your infinite wisdom and uncanny ability to be at peace with oneself"

What other conclusion can one come to?

That has nothing to do with the answer to the question.
But, no, it's not a recent phenomenon.

Why are they the only honest ones? Because that's the only answer you want
Do you really no see how biased you are being? There's no right or wrong answer

Any of the others in this thread that you conveniently discard

And you are the one placing a moral judgement on that, not me.

That's for each person to decide why they do something
Not everyone does something for the exact same reasons

Some do it because it feels good and it's fun
Some do it to escape problems
Some do it to get laid
Some do it because it causes them to lose inhibition
Some do it to sleep.
Some do it to feel normal.
Some do it for self medicating purposes
